About Carissa

Hello! I'm a nurturing, dependable, and upbeat childcare professional with over 15 years of experience caring for children from newborns to age 13. I'm in my 40s, a Christian mom of two amazing girls (adopted through foster care), and I bring not only professional expertise but a mother's heart to every family I work with. My background includes roles as a preschool teacher, teacher's assistant, babysitter, and career nanny. I've also spent the past 7 years as a full-time foster mom, which has shaped my ability to connect with children on a deep emotional level. I'm patient, fun, and firm when needed - and always focused on creating a safe, loving, and consistent environment. I'm seeking a full-time nanny or family assistant role where I can be a true partner in supporting your family's needs - not just "the help" but someone you trust and rely on. I'd love to connect and see if we're a great match!
